Hi all,

I am keen to see how many on this list are considering cycling holidays?

And also when considering cycling holidays, who thinks of New Zealand?

And I'm promoting:  www.timbertrail.co.nz    :)

Let me know your feedback.

Thanks

Daniel

Yes. Very disturbing. We need a more diverse set of business models for bike share. cutting and pasting Paris doesn’t work in other cities. Neighbourhood, campus and company travel shares, etc.  etc.
